ESUHSD ParentWed, 04 Mar 2009 00:46:08 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=1072#comment-6576Hi folks,
Yes the entire ESUHSD budget situation is a total…well…let’s just say I’m too much of a lady to say it. However, the situation is what it is and pointing and name calling don’t change anything.

Here at MPHS we proposed a 5KRun/2KWalk for late April/May. The event is in the planning stage and we don’t have time to wait for politicians who continue to spend millions to save pennies and in my philosophy I’d rather ask for forgiveness than permission. Which is why it is proposed that we hold the Run/Walk.

Here’s the quick breakdown:

6300 athletes. If 2200 participate at $500 in sponsorship we can raise $1.1Million. How do you raise $500 in sponsorship. Here’s how:

Can you all put your running shoes on and help get involved with this. If this can turn into a yearly event…why would we need to continue to rumble with a Board (present or future) who will continually use sports to spin their political jockeying. If the City can maintain festivals that continue to run up the drunkards and police safety, if they can continue to become disconnected with recall efforts, and if they can spend thousands to plant a tree…something is terribly wrong with our society as a whole.

My kid went to VCTue, 03 Mar 2009 23:31:48 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=1072#comment-6580It makes me wonder why the lack of coverage for CCS Basketball when it’s apparent the games have been played. I didn’t realize Piedmont has a game tomorrow until by accident I clicked on a link…image that.

joebTue, 03 Mar 2009 17:12:53 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=1072#comment-6579Is there no interest in the CCS Basketball Playoffs? A ton of playoff games have happened since the last post 2/20. The website is not even including the results of the games. I prefer football, but believe the basketball deserves to be covered here.

Just WonderingTue, 03 Mar 2009 04:20:46 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=1072#comment-6581Word is the Head Coaches for this year’s Charlie Wedemeyer All-Star game are Mike Machado of Valley Christian (South) and Shawn Thomas of Leigh (North). So if “styles make fights”, this one ought to be interesting.

phillyTue, 03 Mar 2009 02:47:55 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=1072#comment-6583I talked to the 3 players that were on my team this year and they had submitted their “application” for the charlie wedemeyer game like before winter break. When i posted the comment on February 25th, i was sent a text message by Kyle(Cool) that he was contacted by Branham’s former coach Kyle Padia that he and his cousin Jason had been accepted to play in the Charlie Wedemeyer All-Star game. The other player on my team who sent his “application” was OLB Justin Whitney in which he unfortunately got “rejected” to be a part of the team. For your information to other people, Kyle and Jamie Jensen are the quarterbacks I know of.

Tom JonesTue, 03 Mar 2009 00:01:25 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=1072#comment-6582It looks like most sports are safe for now. They are going to keep all sports excluding water sports (swimming, diving and water polo).

The rational that the heating, maintenance and supervision of pools was such that cutting those sports would save the rest leaves the majority of East Side sports safe.

The only other fallout of the meeting was that the transportation for away games would be the schools/parents responsibility.

I feel awful for the kids who’s sports were taken. I’m a football guy but any one who is passionate about what they do deserves to do have the opportunity to do it. While I’m glad the Eagles will be have a team next year my heart goes out to all who will have to chose between leaving their friends and teachers or sacrifice playing a sport they love.

Prior to this meeting, I was at the last one and quite impressed at the parents/athletes turnout!

CTCFri, 27 Feb 2009 18:19:53 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=1072#comment-6577So what happened at this meeting? We sent in a donation- I hope more people do. My kids are in CCS and compete against these schools. As Eastside hoops said, I can’t imagine where they would be without sports. It’s so important for kids to have that opportunity to be on a team and compete and learn sportsmanship and how to be a team player.

Eastside HoopsFri, 27 Feb 2009 13:02:32 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/hssports/?p=1072#comment-6572I have nothing against Nunez personally, I do not even know the man, but for him to suggest something like this is crazy and it makes me wonder whose best interest he has. I’m not saying that I know everything behind his proposition, but it makes me wonder what or who is important to him?
